FOOTBALL—
(Continued from page 1)
Bill Roper at Princeton, was added
to the list of unemployed—for quite
another reason, however, than that
back of Coach Meehan’s virtual
dismissal. A1 Wittmer simply had
failed to produce a winning team,
and as a result was the subject of
numerous stinging attacks by un
dergraduates and alumni.
While Princetonians appeared to
be in no hurry to select a new coach
Dr. Charles W. Kennedy, chairman
of the Princeton Athletic Associa
tion expressed the belief that foot
ball tournaments might eventually
revolutionize the present variety of
competitive football.
Cutten Defends
But though King Pigskin faced
an uprising among his once loyal
subjects, he was not without his
defenders. Dr. George Barton Cut-
ten, president of Colgate Univer
sity, for instance, declared flatly:
“Football is a moral substitute
for war, and it makes the right
kind of manhood.”
John L. Griffith, commissioner
of athletics for the Western Con
ference, also remained staunchly
loyal and contended that the year
1931 fully demonstrated “the hold
that college athletics have on the
American people.”
As also did Dr. Cutten, Commis
sioner Griffith expressed regret
that “for some unknown reason
there were more serious injuries re
ceived in connection with games
played by major institutions this
year than is usually the case . . .
An attempt is being made to as
certain why this is true.”
Forty Fatalities
It was believed that he referred
to an investigation undertaken by
the National Football Rules Com
mittee, which has announced that
its members, including prominent
athletic directors, will gather all
information available in connection
with some 40 gridiron fatalties this
season.
Revision of the rules to eliminate
some of the present hazards is con
templated by the committee, and
although no definite action on the
subject was either promised or
hinted, widespread criticism of the
“flying wedge” as an accepted play
on the kickoff was also expected
to be seriously considered.

zel has improved remarkably de
fensively since last year, and will
be of double value to the team with
this added asset.
If the starting lineups in the
pre-conference games mean any
thing, Capt. Sumner and Walker
will be at forwards, Dietzel at the
tip-off position, and Green and
Brannon at guards. The forward
positions are secure and probably
won’t be questioned for the next
two years, but with Vaught, Myers
and Kinzy for guard competition,
Green and Brannon don’t feel quite
so confident. Kinzy can also be us
ed as a relief man at center.
Although the squad is small,
Coach Schmidt is not worried.
There is not a man out who does
not have a chance to letter, and
this gives Schmidt time to spend
practically all of his time with the
men who will be used in competi
tion.
as compared with mathematical
reasoning.
“Red Shift”
In this regard, the famous Ger
man scientist will undoubtedly give
a large part of his attention to Dr.
Hubble’s findings in connection
with the “red shift” in the light
spectrum from distant nebulae. As
yet, all authorities are not agreed
as to whether this shift actually
indicates a rapidly expanding uni
verse or whether the phenomenon
is the result of some influence
which affects the light while in
transit through space.
Dr. De Sitter is sure that the
shift is real—that is, it shows the
nebulae to be moving away at in
creasingly greater speeds, thus
tending to prove his theory of a
scattering universe.
Tolman Differs
On the other hand, Dr. Tolman
is not so sure. He accepts the “red
shift” at its face value, but at
the same time conceives the uni
verse to be something like a great
pulsing, throbbing organism, por
tions of which may be expanding
while other portions are contract
ing.
Einstein himself is constantly re
vising his estimates of the universe
—or universes, as the case may
be—including his original theory
vhich envisioned all matter in space
as being in an essential state of
equilibrium. During the three
months’ course he is now starting,
he expects to make further revis
ions, giving due credit to his fel
low classmates.
“The United States is leading the
world in the field of scientific re
search,” he declared, following his
arrival here.
And with that word of praise, he
plunged into the mass of work
before him.
Sport Sidelights
By W. J. Faulk
While Aggieland’s warriors scrap
with Rice Institute’s feathered
tribe in Houston, two of the fore
most contenders for the Southwest
Basketball title for 1932 will battle
desperately to dim the other’s
chances with an early set back as
the champion Horned Frogs enter
the den of Baylor’s Golden Bears
in Waco, Saturday night.
Although Coach Reid’s Aggie
five are considered as outside con
tenders for the crown, Baylor and
T C U both have shown signs of
a vast amount of potential scoring
ability in games to date. T C U
has experienced one setback this
season while Baylor has yet to feel
the sting of a defeat thus far this
season and both are considered bet
ter than last year, when the Frogs
waltzed home with the flag.
W. L. Zunker, San Marcos.
Since the “Fish” basket ball
season is still in its infancy, no de-
finate information on the outstand
ing players of the above can be
given yet. In about two week, how
ever, more definite information as
to the likely varsity candidates
will be known. A number of tenta
tive games are being considered
for the freshman cagers but none
have been definitely decided upon
as yet.

Texas
also had an additional year of cage
experience with Texas Military Col
lege. Playing at forward the blonde
mite has run wild against all op
position. He is as speedy as they
come, a wonderful dribbler, and
sinks shots from all angles from all
parts of the floor. His defensive
work is beyond all reproach. He
is ready for the varsity right now.
Nacona Star
Smokey Zachary, former Nocona
star, is a fit running mate for the
West Texas speedster. The dark-
skinned youth is a great floor man
and possesses a great eye for the
basket. He is probably the best
ball handler on the squad.
Big Jim Lovern of Monroe, Ga.,
is playing a whale of a game at
center, getting the tip-off with con
sistency and playing a steady floor
game. He gets his share of the
goals and plays a good defensive
game.
The guard posts are being well
cared for by a couple of former
all-state men from Denton.

Trojans To Lose
Thirteen On This
Year’s Grid Team
Led by the “Mighty” Alford,
Baylor’s Bears have done exceptio
nally well in overwhelming, with
apparent ease, all opposition to
date, while “Too Tall” Dietzel of
T C U has not been dormant in
his basket tossing, and has figured
prominently in T C U’s success to
date. Other than Dietzel the Frogs
can boast of a well-balanced com
bination with “Doc” Sumner and
Buster Brannen, both former

What may be a “dark-horse” in
the conference race is the Razor-
back five from Arkansas Univer
sity. Although dethroned as cham
pions of the conference by the
Frogs last year, the Hogs have
had unusual success in their early
season tilts to date. And it may
develop that another strong con
tender is to be present, ere the
race closes.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—South

season.
Thirteen—unlucky thirteen—of

Southern California Trojans last
Friday ended their careers as ama

of glory they narrowly defeated
the famous Green Wave from Tu-
lane by a score of 21 to 12.

to attain the highest pinnacle in
its gridiron history are:
Captain Stan Williamson, center;
Gaius Shaver, All-American quar

American halfback; Jim Musick,
fullback; Garret Arbelbide, end;
Bob Hall, tackle; Harold Hammack,
hahlfback; Gene Clark, end; Tom
Mallory, halfback; Blanchard Beat
ty, quarterback; Barry Stephens,
halfback, and Howard Joslin, end.
Although a bit dull at present
the sport program at Aggieland
promises plenty of excitment with
in the next six weeks as Intramural
football gets under way, handball
is soon to be resumed, varsity and
freshman basketball will both hit
their respective strides this week
and varsity baseball begins near
the start of February. Varsity rifle
shooting will take the form of
schedule practice near the middle
of this month also.
Southern Methodist’s Mustangs
will likely not experience any such
remarkable success in the hard
wood chase as they did on the
Southwest Gridirons in the season
just past. But like unto Arkansas’s
Hogs the Ponies are of unknown
strength.

He is of the steady, consistent type

the defense. He plays a neat floor

provide an opportunity for the Ag
gie swimming team to compete
with all conference swim teams for
the first time since it’s organiza

years ago boasts probably the best
record of any athletic team ever
to represent the Maroon and White
in battle with only one defeat in
it’s history. Aggie swimmers have
previously entered meets in Gal

peted against Texas University
teams in the past. The first meet,

We Are Never Too Busy To Do
Jimmie Aston, Aggie football
captain for 1932 who received a
blow in the Thanksgiving gamei
which necessitated his departure
from school for a complete rest,
has returned to resume his work.
Champions in their respective
sports were many who passed into
oblivion at Aggieland in 1931.
Some of the outstanding leaders
were Harry Stiteler, holder of the
conference pole vault title; Her
man Harlan and Don Slocomb,
champions respectively of the high
and low hurdle races for the past
three years in the Southwest con
ference; “Dick” Winders, champion
distance man on the Aggie cross
country. and track teams; and
“Shiro” Hoke, all-conference pivot
man on the Aggie cage team who
received all-American mention last
year by College-Humor; and
“Beau” Bell captain, all-Southwest
conference and all-American left
fielder of the first Aggie baseball
team to win a Southwest confer
ence championship. Last season
was the first time in history than
an all-American college baseball
team has been selected. The team
was named by College-Humor and
Bell was listed on the first team.
